COMBINED CURTAIN-FIXTURE AND CURTAIN-SUPPORT.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 709,578, dated September23, 1902. Application filed April 9, 1902. Serial No. 102,119. (Nomodel.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be itknown that I, CHARLES BUOKALEW JA- COBY, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at West Nanticoke, in the county of Luzerne and Stateof Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Combined Curtain-Fixtureand Curtain-Support, of which the following is a specification.

-This invention relates to window-curtain fixtures and curtain-polesupports; and it consists in a bracket which serves as a combinedfixture for the curtain-roller and a support for the hanging curtains,as hereinafter shown and described, and specifically pointed out in theclaim.

In the drawings illustrative of the invention, Figure 1 is a perspectiveview of the device complete With the curtain-rollerand curtain-pole inposition. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of one of the brackets detached.

The brackets are formed right and left and are precisely alike, exceptthat the left-hand bracket has a vertical slot and the right-handbracket has a perforation to adapt them to support the respective endsof the ordinary curtain-roller in the usual manner, and like referencecharacters are employed to denote corresponding parts in the twobrackets and their attachments.

The brackets are preferably formed of sheet metal, with a base 10,having a perforation 11 for the fastening-screw and with one or morespurs 12 projecting rearwardly therefrom, the spurs being preferablyformed by cutting V-shaped slits in the metal and bending the portionthereby formed outwardly, as indicated. These spurs by being forced intothe window-casing assist in supporting the bracket, so that one screwonly will be required to support each bracket. As many of the V-pointsmay be employed as required; but generally two will be sufficient, asshown.

At one end each bracket is turned outward, as at 13, to form the supportfor the journals 14 15 of the curtain-roller 16 of the ordinaryconstruction. The right-hand journal of the roller 14 is circular andengages a corresponding perforation 17 in the right-hand bracket, andthe left-hand journal 15 is flattened and engages an open slot 18 in theleft hand bracket in the usual manner of the ordinary curtain-roller.

Extending from one end of each bracket is an arm 19, bent outward andformed with a socket 20 to receive the ends of the pole 21, which willserve to support the usual hangings or lace curtains employed inconnection with the ordinary blinds or roller-curtains. This makes avery simple, cheap, and convenient device easily-adapted to the purposeintended and also adapted to any style of roller or size of pole andapplicable to any form or construction of casing or frame.

The brackets can be made in any size and of any ornamental shape or ofany suitable material and can be varied or modified to suit thecircumstances or locality where employed.

Having thus described my invention, what I claimis- As a new article ofmanufacture a combined curtain-fixture and curtain-pole support formedfrom a single piece of sheet metal and comprising a base-plate having anopening to receive a fastening-screw and provided on opposite sides ofsaid opening with V-shaped struck-up spurs to engage the window-casing,said plate being provided at one end with a curtain -roller bracket bentat right angles thereto and with an arm bent forwardly over and beyondsaid curtain bracket to form a curtain-pole support, substantially asset forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixedmy signature in the presence of two witnesses.

CHARLES BUOKALEW JAGOBY.
